Running The Road To ABC

Six children in Haiti run all the way to school, where they learn to read and count. The lush, deep-hued paintings show the Haitian countryside waking up, as the children pass through the center of town, over fields, and enthusiastically reach the school house. This is a book that is ideal for reading aloud, alive with the sounds and colors of Haiti and, most especially, with the exuberance and joy of reading.
